Although it's been closed for decades, many remember the Skyline Drive-In on Route 19 just past Clarksburg. In this undated photo, the entrance leading up to the facility, which shows how it got its name, is shown. Also, at the time of this photo the sign to the right lists it as the Skyline Theatre.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dickdo@citynet.net
